[Electric Boats] Torqeedo Battery & Speed Tests on 3 Boats

 

Hello:

I understand that this site is primarily dedicated to sailboaters who install electric inboards. However, some might be interested in other applications. I recently purchased a Torqeedo T-1003.

With the help of my husband and his best friend, we tested the Battery Range and Speed of the outboard on 3 boats: a Livingston catamaran tender, a canoe, and a gheenoe. I recorded the results here:

In case the link doesn't work, just google "YouTube Torqeedo Battery & Speed Tests on 3 Boats:"

I am using the Torqeedo primarily for fishing around Weedon Island in St. Petersburg, FL. I also take our two dogs to a sandbar that is 3 miles from my dock; it's their favorite place in the world.

One bit of info that is not in the video: I get about 20% more range with less weight in the boat, i.e when it's just me.
